Fire Features
Ignite Evenings Made for Stories and S’mores
Custom Outdoor Fire Features in the Brainerd Lakes
Some nights feel too good to cut short. But without warmth or light, most backyards go dark early. A fire feature changes that. It keeps the evening alive with a crackle in the air, friends gathering close, and a glow that stretches the night a little longer.
Nights That Start With Firelight and End With Stories
Bring the Magic of Fire to Your Backyard
Too many backyards feel empty once the sun drops. Guests head inside. The party winds down. That’s why we design fire features that give people a reason to stay. Warmth, light, and a natural gathering spot turn your backyard into the place no one wants to leave.
Fire Pits: The Heartbeat of Every Great Gathering
Fire pits feel easy. Relaxed. People wander over with drinks, kids toast marshmallows, and neighbors pull up chairs as the night goes on. They’re perfect for:
Weekend cookouts where the conversation lasts longer than the food
Summer evenings when kids beg for “just one more s’more”
Fall nights with friends tucked under blankets, watching sparks rise into the dark
Whether you want a classic wood-burning pit or the convenience of gas with instant flames, we design fire pits that fit your backyard, your style, and the way you gather.
Outdoor Fireplaces: Drama, Elegance, and All-Season Warmth
An outdoor fireplace does more than warm the air. It creates a focal point that draws everyone in — the kind of architectural centerpiece that makes a patio feel like an outdoor living room. Perfect for:
Cozy fall dinners by the fire after a day on the lake
Elegant evenings with wine and friends as the snow falls outside
Winter mornings when coffee tastes better by the flames
With stone surrounds, integrated seating, and designs that anchor the whole space, fireplaces bring year-round beauty and comfort to Brainerd Lakes backyards.
Where 100+ Years of Craftsmanship Meet Your Vision
With over a century of combined experience, we bring your fire feature to life as part of a complete outdoor living plan. Every full outdoor living project begins with a 3D design so you can see the space before we start. You’ll know the cost and timeline upfront, get regular updates along the way, and finish with a backyard built to last — backed by our 5-year hardscape warranties for total peace of mind.
“We worked with Adam Dewey and he was able to transform our ‘up north’ landscape ideas into reality.
We highly recommend Yardcreations if you want something beyond the normal that everyone else does.”

Minnesota seasons are tough on outdoor spaces. That’s why we build with Unilock, Belgard, and Techo-Bloc products engineered for strength, beauty, and long-term durability.

Custom stonework that ties in with patios, walls, and walkways for a cohesive look

Seating walls and gathering spaces so there’s always room for friends and family
Lighting from Luminaire to set the mood long after the sun goes down
Gas or wood-burning options to match how you love to spend your evenings
Weather-tested materials that stand up to snow, rain, and Minnesota temperature swings
